In addition to these financial difti- culties was the almost insuperable difficulty of keeping abreast with ) the trend of progress in the methods ‘employed in putting up vegetables for sale. With the multitude of pack- ing houses, many shippers had such a small quantity of the various’ veg- etables in existence that they found it economically difficult to put in the necessary equipment to keep us up- | to date and although it is only fair ;to say that considerable equipment has been purchased, a great deal of it was only after years of urging while in many respects, we still find it difficult to offer vegetables put up in the. manner presently being @e- manded by the buying public. The Board is also forced to the opinion that, in many cases, vegetables take a place of secondary importance once e|| fruit commences to move. This matter has given the Board very grave concern for many years and, for some years now, both the B.C. Interior Vegetable Grower's As- sociation and Delegates to the Board who meet each year, have recom- mended to the Board that’ steps ‘should be taken to establish one packing house in each district within the area. At a meeting of the Board held October 19th, ‘it was resolved that this matter be referred back to the growers at the forthcoming Annual RANCHERS.
